PUBLIC SPEAKING PRO TIP#1:
BODY LANGUAGE
1. Use your entire body when speaking or presenting on stage. Whether it be a school presentation, TED Talk, class lecture or event hosting, your ONSTAGE PRESENCE is one of the most important ways to project confidence and charisma and engage with your audience.
2. Move naturally: shift your weight from one foot to the other or take small steps around the stage. This can help get rid of excess nervous energy but be careful not to pace back and forth.
3. Use your hands and arms to make your point. Emphasizing key moments with a hand gesture is a great way to keep audience interested in what you have to say.
4. Keep your posture! Shoulders back, back straight, and chest open will make you look more trustworthy and engaging.
5. Don’t forget to breathe. Breathing properly while speaking in public is key to allowing the rest of your body to move naturally and not look too rigid or stiff.
Practice these tips to make your next speaking engagement SPOT ON. Good luck!
